Mech and shifter compatibility
I would like to do away with my 2300 shifters and install a set up where the shift buttons are both on the brake lever not up on the hoods.
Is there any problems posed by doing this?
The bike is a 2010 Allez 8 speed rear with a compact double on the front

There'd be no issues doing it - but not a lot of choice in 8 spd. I think the Shimano Claris has the facility you want?0

i feared that may be the only option.
£89 is a lot for a couple of shifters.
Maybe its time to upgrade to 10 speed0 -
£89 is a lot for a couple of shifters when you consider you can have a complete 11 speed 105 5800 groupset for £300.
You could try Ebay for some pre-owned 8 speed shifters. Or similarly 9 speed shifters, chain and cassette?0 -
The prices on ebay aren't a lot better.
I'll quit moaning and get searching.
Thanks.0
